Yeah, I get that. Like you though, I just can't shake the feeling that he'll be given the proper remake treatment in the not-too-distant future ("he tell me!!" J/k).
I agree. I would be VERY pleased with this one too, if I had skipped Stege.
Congrats on the purchase. It's definitely the Shockwave that I would have gotten the first time around, but I decided to leave this one on the store shelf. I honestly never had that much of an issue with the "Stege". The character deserves to be a larger, all-new mold, in keeping with...
I know what's really going on with SS86 Starscream and Target, and it goes all the way to the top, maaaan. "Follow the money", that's all I can say right now. Who wants to touch me?
I almost did a spit-take at the price(s). Especially since the last G1 Soundwave re-release that I bought inluded Buzzsaw and was about $40. So yeah, I'm paying an extra $160 for some engineering, a new cassette, and a pair of headphones.
I honestly can't recall, but was Runabout that hard to find? He and Runamuck have been on my shelf for years, and I don't remember there being a big clamor for him. My short term memory isn't very good though, so...

And I do - mostly! I had some preorders through Pulse but their payment / credit card system sucks so bad that I switched what I wanted to BBTS. I've been using them for years, and have decided that I would rather pay for shipping (yes, it's that bad!) than to have to deal with Pulse for...
I was never really all that keyed up about this version of Optimal Optimus but I guess it's cool that its getting back out there. I guess it's something that they still had the mold/tooling for, and thought it would be worth another trot. I wouldn't drop a hundred large on it, but that's just me.
I used to have a much larger collection of black deco'd Transformers that occupied a prominent spot on my shelf. I loved tracking down decos, mixing and matching eras, making a mostly-Decepticon team of special agents. I still have a good chunk of them, but examples include: United Wipe Out...
